Brooklyn Windmill

It’s been a glorious weekend. I went for a walk up to the windmill. It was the first wind turbine erected in New Zealand and has recently been repaired and refurbished.
When Sam was little we used to trek up the path with his bike and he would hurtle back down.
From the top there are panoramic views north over the harbour,
east over the airport,
south-east out to sea
and west to the more recent West Wind development.
There are no great views over to the South Island as the terrain gets in the way, but floating above the hills are the mountains from the Kaikoura range.
